The students in Mrs. Studebaker’s class have been asking the question: How do whales spend their lives surviving frigid water? The young biologists discovered that a whale's secret is blubber, a thick layer of body fat. The students replicated the cold-weather adaptation of blubber with “The Blubber Glove” experiment! The second graders compared the temperature of the icy water by placing their hands in the water to feel the actual temperature. They then compared the temperature mimicking a whale. Their discoveries were “whaley” amazing!

Our Kindergarten classes have started their animal studies in science. Each student chooses an animal to research, creates a poster, and gets to be the teacher for a lesson. The lessons add variety and interest to the end of the school year. They keep the students engaged, and are a great educational experience! Our little explorers are off to a great start so far!
